When most of us think about the danger of driving while interacting with invisible beings, we’re most likely to blame Pokemon Go. That’s not the case with this 28-year-old Floridian, who was praying to an invisible being named Jesus with her eyes closed. While driving. She hit a house.
The wreck happened on the morning of July 7, in the matronly-named city of Mary Esther, Florida. The woman ran a stop sign and kept driving until she hit a house with her Taurus. She tried to back out, but the car was too stuck in the sandy soil.
Luckily, nobody was hurt, in either the car or the house.
Praying while driving is fine, generally, as long as you’re not snake handling or anything like that. It’s worth remembering, though, as a sort of rule of thumb, that no matter what you’re thinking about while you drive, why not keep your eyes open? I think most people find keeping your eyes open is a fantastic way to “see” out the “windshield” while driving so you don’t crash into “anything.”
I mean, I know lots of gods can be a real dick about how you pray, but I’m sure pretty much any of the major religions have prayer-delivery systems that function just fine while your eyes are open.
I sort of hope it’s later discovered that her prayer was “Please, lord, don’t let me run into a house.”
